SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 633,757, dated September 26, 1899.

Application filed October 7,1898. Serial No. 692,930. (No modelJ T ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES BARTON HAR RIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lonoke, in the county of Lonoke and State of Arkansas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows and Plow-Points; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has relation to plows and plow-points; and it consists of a plow having a plate with three convertible points and three cutting edges, a foot enlarged at its lower end, and carrying a double moldboard.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view. Fig. 3 is a face view of one of the plates used in connection with my plow. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 5 is a front face view of standard 2, and Fig. 6 is an end View of Fig. 5.

My invention is described as follows:

1 is the draw-beam.

2 is the plow-standard.

3 are the handles.

4: is the moldboard.

5 are the wings of the moldboard.

I 6 is the triangular plow-plate,having points 7 and serrated edges 8. These edges may be serrated or they may be sharp and straight.

The front corners 9 of the plow-standard 2 are cut away, leaving an A-shaped front 10 with recesses 11, and over this A-shaped front is saddled the moldboard 4, the wings 5 extending backward and outward from each side of the plow-standard 2. The lower end of the plow-standard 2 is enlarged, so as to be accommodated to the moldboard 4,and its rear side is recessed or hollowed out until each wall of said recess forms a plane 12 parallel with the outer faces of the A-shaped front 10, and through each part 13 thus left is a perforation 14, and through the moldboard at and concentric with the perforations 14: are perforations 15, by means of which said moldboard is secured to the plow-standard 2 by bolts and nuts.

The moldboard 4 and the lower end of the plow-standard 2 are cut on such an angle that they present a face exactly parallel to the lower face of the draw-beam, and to this bottom is pivoted the triangular plate 6 by means of a bolt 16, which passes through a central perforation 17 in said plate.

In the lower end of the plow-standard 2 and on a line with the bolt 16 is a stationary pin 18, over which the perforations 19 fit, so that by loosening the nut on the bolt 16 I can alternate the points 7 of the plate 6, presenting one after another to the front as long as there is one sharp to be used.

There may be used in connection with this plow my colter attachment, filed October 7, 1898, Serial No. 692,931.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the draw-beam 1; handles 3, plow-standard 2; having the enlarged end 13; A-shaped front 10; recesses 11, and pin 18; moldboard 4, having side recesses, wings 5, and perforations 15, and secured to the A-shaped front 10, by bolts pass= ing through the perforations 14 and triangular plate 6, provided with perforations l7 and 19, and secured to the foot of the plowstandard 2, by means of bolts 16 and 18, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a plow, the combination of the handles, draw-beam and brace-bolt, a plowstandard having an enlarged lower end, cut to present an A-shaped front, its rear side recessed, each wall of said recess forming a plane parallel with the outer faces of the A- shaped front, a moldboard adapted to fit on and be secured to said front, and having wings extending outwardly and rearwardly from each side of said standard,and a serrated triangular plate, pivoted and adjustably secured to the lower end of said standard, and adapted to present alternately one point after another to the front, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a plow, the combination of the plowstandard 2, having an A-shaped front 10, re-

of said standard, substantially as shown and I0 described and for the purposes set forth.

eesses 11, on each edge, planes '12, in its rear, parallel with the faces of the A-shaped front,

bottom face on a line parallel with the lower 4 In testimony whereof I aflix my signature face of the draw-beam; said standard proin presence of two witnesses. Vided with perforations 14c, 16, and pin 18; 1 CHARLES BARTON HARRIS triangular plate 6 having perforations 17 and I 19, adjustably secured to the bottom of said lVitnesses:

standard; moldboard at, having Wings 5, and GEO. H. BALE, S12, perforations 15, secured to the A-shaped front JACOB LAMM.
